I have an internal OpenBSD 3.8 system that I use as a data dump, internal source for PXE installs and the like. It is not accessible to the outside world, so security is not exactly critical. In fact I would like to setup a user with a very minimal password (four characters and all lower case letters), but passwd is not letting me. I've already found the "minpasswordlen" option in login.conf, and set it appropriately, but when I try to change this account's password to an all lower case password, I get a warning back to make the password more secure and it does not accept it.
How do I change this so I can use any generic password? While for this case I want to dumb down the rules, for other more exposed servers I would like to do the opposite so I really would like to know how/where to modify this. Thanks, Peter
